Memo, for Ed Kline:
Please tell Kelly that (1) the photographs should be sent over with the crewmen each time so that a careful check can be made as soon as they arrive. A perfunctory check at first might lead them to believe that they can get away with something when future ate* groups are sent.
In so far as possible they should be in shape to go into barracks and start living normally. In other words, if vaccination is required, they should be vaccinated. They should all have completed their Rocky Mountain Fever shots (the first group had, I understand from their Dr. aixac Also, their baggage should be fumigated before arrival here if at all possible for we have no facilities for a large group. We can arrange, as we did this time, however, for a refer to be spotted by the RR on the spur.
You might tell Mr. Kelly that if necessary we can take the entire group on the 19th or 20, but we will have to constructed some benches until mess stools are available. It will probably be necessary ( complete check not yet made due to slowness of Army Quartermaster) to purchase soioe large mess equipment at not to exceed $500. However, we can "get by" in an emergency for a week or two0
Point out to him that the Lincoln set-up lends itself to separating groups if that oecomes necessary.
With reference to Walls letter to Mr. Kelly of the 6th � I believe that we should construct fence as shown in the first sketch - 3200 feet and that the obstruction referred to should be removed for it apparently is not worth using -� a frame shefio If we try to build too large an area to guard at night we might encounter difficulties. The area at Missoula is going to work out fine and I believe that the interior fence should be left as is for a night-time area
T/7e should have manifests of the ships other than the Conti Biancamano which were sent with the first group of 125. lie were sent only the manifests of tlie Biancamano by Seavey.
Then tell Kelly "hello* and not to worry about Missoula that everything is and am will be kept under control. We have a steno. comin
up from Billings who is reaa-nmended by Gateso
?S You might also tell Mr. Kelly that it would be very�advantageous for us to have a complete list cf those who are coining showing their names, ages and RANK. Also the names of the ships from which they come. You might al tell him that I believe an arrangement can be worked out to do the baking and heavy laundry for Lincoln here. I have already discussed this with th< Italian crew officers some of who like German bread!
